FLV Lab #2
This FLV Lab focuses on augmented reality and virtual reality. The prototype systems on display present the Fondation’s architecture in fun, innovative ways, like mini games and short experiences, guiding visitors along the paths showcasing the building’s architecture and permanent artworks.
Each year, the FLV Lab invites students pursuing an Applied Arts master’s degree (DSAA) in graphic design and multimedia narration at the Lycée Jacques Prévert in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, to design and build prototypes of digital projects for or about the Frank Gehry building. Several digital-mediation projects by innovative companies are presented during the FLV Lab, as well.
